MAID MADE TO SIT AND WATCH AS EMPLOYER ENJOYS MEAL WITH FAMILY, SLAMMED BY NETIZENS

A video emerged online showing a Singapore family enjoying a meal at an eatery, while the maid watched on as they indulged themselves, according to SAYS.

The netizen who posted the video on Facebook, captioned it “Don’t bring your domestic helper outside if you don’t want to pay for her meal.”

The 15-second video shows the family enjoying their meal as the maid sat and watched, before slumping back on her seat.

Response from netizens have been largely scathing, with several netizens appealing for employers to treat their helpers like humans.

However, some netizens urged caution before judging, saying that “we don’t know the real story, don’t judge too early”.

Netizens’ comments

1. Should treat them like humans too, they have emotions as well. Far away from their family and friends.
2. This makes me very angry. I’ve seen it quite a few times commonly happening in Malaysia, Singapore and some Middle Eastern countries where heartless employers proudly walk around with with their maids and when they stop for a meal, they don’t even have the decency to offer anything to the poor servant. It is a very awkward situation. I personally feel very uncomfortable. Sadly, on my part, I failed to step up and at least say something but my concern is if I intervene I am afraid the maid will be in trouble and will suffer the repercussions once they’re back at the employer’s home. What has happened to HUMANITY?
3. If I will the ma’am is eating then the helper don’t have food in front of here she nothing to eat I buy for her and I give infront of employer … 😡😡😡 What kind of employer is that..
4. I feel that pain of her. I’ve been through this kind of situation and until now if I see employer who are enjoying their meal but their helper is watching them or just taking care of their kid without eating any after them makes me feel so sad… My first employer did the same thing to me. They are all enjoying their meal when there’s a party they attended but i didn’t eat anything not a single food that until late at night i only eat food when we came back at home and I ate noodles.
